[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#649490: gnupg: please mark Multi-Arch: foreign

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.11-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It would be useful for gnupg to be marked "Multi-Arch: foreign", to
indicate that it can satisfy dependencies of packages of other
architectures.  Although Debian's dpkg doesn't yet do anything special
with this, it's safe to add this tag in advance of package manager
support.

This is an early step in being able to crossgrade from i386 to amd64,
because apt Depends: gnupg.

  * Mark gnupg, gnupg-curl, and gpgv Multi-Arch: foreign.
